| /24-7PressRelease/ - January 15, 2007 - David Simonian, CFO, explained some of the problems Simmons experienced running an old, non-integrated Dbase system. "Each department had its own mini-system. The same data was entered multiple times—engineering, purchasing, job costing, and accounting. It was very difficult to extract any meaningful information to run the business," he said. Simmons had known about Encompix for several years. "We looked at Encompix many years ago, but were not ready to buy at that time," said Simonian. "We were impressed with the company's background—especially the fact that the product was designed for engineer-to-order manufacturer's. We looked at other products, but it became clear that they all had some shortcomings. Encompix was the only one that could provide all the things we were looking for." Founded in 1910, Simmons Machine Tool Corporation specializes in designing and building special machine tools for the wheelset, wheel and axle maintenance workshops of railways, metros, and transits worldwide. Located in Albany, N.Y., Simmons Machine Tool Corporation is a member of the NSH Group, which was created in 2000 by the consolidation of Niles- Simmons, and Hegenscheidt-MFD in Germany. Simonian is looking forward to the benefits Encompix will bring. "The biggest benefit is that everyone will be using the same real-time information. For example, when we hold our production control meetings in the future, we will be able search for any information we need without having to run off and create a report. Data accuracy also will improve. Part numbers and descriptions will be entered once, and called the same thing throughout the organization."
